  • Hi! Just Finished introduction.........

    Hello There,

    I have done introduction for 15 days.
    The one extra day was because I've not been hom since Friday morning and need to do some research for the next stage.

    Anyway I'm 5ft9
    Started atkins at 200lbs
    I now weigh 189lbs
    11lbs lost in 2weeks.


    Do I move to the next step?
    I know what the next step involves. I just want to make sure it is the right step. I know some people do an extended induction. I've coped with induction very well and do an hour excersise(walking, class or stretches) 5 days a week.

    Did you read Chapters 12 and 13 in DANDR 2002? There it is explained when you should move to OWL.

    Anyway, if I were you, I would move to OWL. You don't have a lot of weight to lose and you have a (very) low metabolic resistance.

      Well I've read it! But I wasn't sure if I have a lot to loose or a small amount.

      So I guess I will reread the OWL section of my book and work out tomorows food.

        Well done Sta,

        You started about the same time as me, and overall, we are at about the same point as far as loss goes.. However I still have a massive amount to go, so I will be staying on extended induction for some time yet.
        Well done again!

            Grats, thats awesome loss, I would said go on to OWL you get more choices and still can lose weight, I heard especially if Induction stalls, OWL can help it pick back up

              Definitely move to OWL and work the dist as you are supposed to. Unfortunately a lot of people who claim to be on extended induction really are not. They just restrict their carbs to less than 20 and eat things that are not induction legal and a lot of these people end up falling off the diet without really understanding it. Good luck to you.
